How To
Tips on how to drive a nail in wood
First, choose the right size and type of tool to drive a nail through wood. The most commonly used types of Hammers are claw hammers. Each type of hammer comes with its advantages and disadvantages. For example, a claw hammer works best when you want to hit something hard, like nails; however, it's difficult to control precisely where the blow lands. A sledgehammer allows you to hit large areas simultaneously, but it is too heavy and cumbersome to use for small tasks.
After choosing the right hammer, place your hand flat against the side of the head so that the handle rests comfortably in your palm. Grip the handle firmly, but don't squeeze it so tightly that you hurt yourself. Your wrist should be relaxed while you hold the hammer straight upwards. Swing the hammer back towards the ground, with your aim at the middle of the nail. You should feel the impact of your hammer hitting the nail. You can practice swinging the hammer with a block or wood until you feel the rhythm.
You can now drive the nail by holding the hammer to your body. You will need to position the nail so it is parallel to the wood. Keep your attention on the tip. Swing your hammer forward. Then follow through with the motions of the hammerhead. Continue this motion several times, slowly increasing the speed of each swing. When you are confident with the technique, add power to your swings. Then, raise the hammer from your shoulder to bring it down. You'll have more energy to work with.
Once you have successfully drilled the first hole in the nail, remove the hammer. Use a pry bar or screwdriver to pull out the rest of the nails. Keep the nail heads parallel to the board's surfaces in order to avoid splitting wood.
